Dalkey Island, Dublin Bay
Dalkey Island, Dublin Bay
Dalkey Island (from the Irish: Deilginis meaning "thorn island") is an uninhabited island which lies about 10 miles south of Dublin. An important site of pilgrimage for centuries, it has been known as "St Begnet's Isle" since records began; the earliest reference to 'Dalkey Island' is from around 1782.

Although the island is currently uninhabited, there is evidence of human occupation dating back to the Neolithic period. The remains of field systems, a church, a 'cairn' burial, a gun battery and the Martello Tower still exist.
